veronica Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hi, We are moving to Perth in June (Myself 38, Hubby 42,Son 19 and daughter 17) We have rented a place in Clarkson for our first 4 weeks and was wondering if anyone alse has teenagers in that area that could meet up? both our kids are very sociable and it will be very difficult for them leaving all their friends behind,also any advice on things they can do in this area? They don't particulary like spending time together as they like to have their own circle of friends... Any suggestions to make this an enjoyable time for them as they will get bored very easily, they are both quite active and want to learn how to surf but other than that I am not sure how to keep them busy.

Guest mandi1971 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi we've been here 8 weeks now and my daughter goes to school in Clarkson.we just live down the road in Butler. Give us a shout when you're here as Chloe (17 this year) would love to make some friends out of school for shopping and movies and girly time etc. It's hard for them at that age so I feel for you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veronica Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi Mandi,Thanks, that would be great, We will be in touch once we get there, how are you settling in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veronica Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hello Mandi, We arrived in Clarkson on Saturday, already my daughter is bored and says she wants to go home, is your daughter on facebook so maybe they could make initial contact that way, could you PM me some details please? Unfortunately my daughter has not had a very nice time of it recently and she has crutches following 4 knee surgeries since february and this is preventing her from joining any clubs when normally she is very active so this is making things even more difficult for her atm. Hopefully you and your family have settled in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17301 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 My advice would be to take it slow, they will make friends at school and can have friends over so you can get to know them, movies, parties, shopping etc will all follow...they will be bored till these friendships take off...wont happen overnight, so try to reassure them, family time can be helpful substitute for friends! All in good time, 12 months down the track youll have to drag them kicking and screaming back to UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 sorry to hijack this page - but I have a 16 year old, she'll be 17 when we move next march. I've been checking out a few high school websites and i'm freaking out. My daughter is only starting 5th year (year 11) here in Sept and wouldn't be finished for 2 years but all the school websites say they won't take anyone who has turned 17 before 1st of Jan. Can anyone advise me if they are in a similar situation or how they got around this?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
